There's a reason rookie contracts are so low. Unfortunately, this reason is not talent level, but the need for teams to fill their rosters with low-end talent so they can pay their stars. He needs to improve just to get a 2nd contract, either here or elsewhere. I'm more upset with coaches who insist on continuing to use players that are hurting the team hoping for a miracle, because they're a good practice player, or because the player is THEIR guy.
He's actually the 47th highest paid G in the league. Considering there's 64 starting Gs, and he's not even the first backup at the G position and can't be active on game day, he's actually "playing" (if we're calling healthy scratches that) much much much worse than he's getting paid.
